I've bought a Lenovo gaming range laptop and it is pretty awful. The hard drive burned out, then the keyboard stopped working, then some chip burned out and I still get random shutdowns at least few times a week for no reason...
I'm afraid I'm going to criticize most of your VPN recommendations.
Surfshark previously used CloudFlare on their VPN servers (I'm not sure if they still do - there have been conflicting reports). That makes it an instant avoid for that reason alone.
I've posted about CyberGhost before - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5203656.msg53196238#msg53196238. Another one to definitely avoid.
IPVanish keeps logs and hands them over to the authorities - https://restoreprivacy.com/ipvanish-provides-logs-to-authorities/.
NordVPN servers were accessed by a hacker and they hid this fact for 18 months before it finally came out. They were previously a good VPN provider, but I would place zero trust in a company which covers up such a fact from users which have been affected.

In terms of browsers, Tor is obviously the best, but many people do not want to use it because of the issues you have outlined - speed, breaking sites, etc. Firefox is the best "standard" browser, but there are a number of tweaks and add-ons you should be using to improve your privacy more. Start here and work down the page - https://www.privacytools.io/browsers/#webrtc. Disable WebRTC, download the commended add-ons, and implement the about:config tweaks.

Don't know much about SurfShark or IPVanish, but apparently NordVPN's situation was not as straightforward as you say. I've read that the server management company failed to disclose the breach to Nord and also the breach did not affect any user data, and that's why it took so long for them to disclose it. Other than that I like that they now do yearly 3rd party audits.
I don't do online shopping often, but when I do, I usually buy clothes. Although I'm more of that person who looks up online and then goes to the store to try it out and buy it. I just really don't all the return stuff, so it's easier for me just go to the store 
I was thinking to start grocery shopping online, although I like it better to go to the store too, maybe I'm just old fashioned.
I was thinking to start grocery shopping online, although I like it better to go to the store too, maybe I'm just old fashioned. I'm from the US and I know that many vpns from my country or UK they really have to log the data because that says the law. That's why I was thinking about nordvpn because they're based in Panama where's no laws about requiring to log the data.
From which country are you? And do you think that if I'm in the US it should be better to use ISP instead of VPN?

Hello everyone! I still really new here and also beginner in mining and using in crypto currency in general. I've read some articles that it's better to secure your crypto wallet very well and it suggests to buy a vpn. I asked some of my friends who's little bit into this, they suggested me nordvpn. Although I'd like to get some opinion from people who know this field well. Also, is there any other benefit of having vpn in this field?
